Preventive and disinfection measures have been strengthened in educational institutions of the Vitebsk region
– All common areas of educational institutions are equipped with disinfectants, antiseptics, and liquid soap, – noted Elena Leonidovna. – Daily explanatory work is carried out on personal hygiene rules: children and adults should wash their hands as often as possible, door handles, sanitary rooms, and school buses are subject to disinfection, and premises should be ventilated every break. If medical workers detect children with elevated temperatures, they are exempted from classes. In preschool institutions, so-called morning filters (temperature, general condition) are under special control. Educational institutions keep daily attendance records and ascertain the reasons for absence. It is advisable during this period to refrain from events with mass gatherings of children and adults, including on the sixth school day.
Spring school holidays will not be postponed and will last from March 30 to April 4.
As for the desire of some parents to independently arrange quarantine for their children, according to Elena Bogdanovich, this is their right.
– There are no documents prohibiting this, – she noted. – The main thing is to inform the class teacher in writing about the student's absence from school, indicating the time frame and who will be looking after the child. However, leaving a minor at home alone is also unsafe.
From March 16, two Vitebsk classes, which were under observation and studied remotely for preventive purposes, returned to classes.
